I purchased the ciabatta pesto sandwhich and was very disappointed when the sandwhich came out cold and the bread was extremely dry. It tasted old and stale. I asked to have the sandwhich warmed up and was told they were not allowed to warm it up… I guess when I pay $7.30 for a sandwhich i expect it to be fresh, with some sort of protein on it, and warmed to my liking. My friend ordered a small chai latte and the cup was not even 3/4 of the way full and tasted like sugar water, there was no spice to it.

Went to their Adams Family High Tea Party. Food was great, small tea party portions, finger sandwiches and they did a great job explaining about the foods and teas. There was a tea that some think tastes a little like popcorn. Being a lover of popcorn, I chose it first, I can't say it tasted like popcorn. Perhaps they used the tea pot for something else at one time and didn't get the smell/taste out. I would like to go again for the tea party or some of their other themed parties.

Went to a themed dinner here- and was extremely underwhelmed. There was some small themed confetti on the tables and a few of those 'floating candles' hung from the ceilings, none of the candles were on and another guest at our table took one down and figured out the batteries were in upside down so we finally got our own turned on. The food was embarrassing and drastically different than what was advertised. First course was supposed to be cheese and meat crackers and we received a piece of bread cut into four pieces with cheese whiz and bacon bits on it, second course was a generic salad, main course was a Shepards Pie that was instant potatoes and very little beef mixed in. The dessert was the worst part- it was advertised on the menu, the website, AND the host as a multi layer sticky toffee cake but we were served a (very dry) bran muffin with whipped cream and caramel sauce on the side.
The seating was so close together you were practically touching shoulders with strangers, very little effort was put into this, the servers had no idea what was happening it seemed, and I would not recommend spending money on this place for a themed meal.

Such a fun night. Detective mystery dinner - good story and clues plus amazing food. Went as part of a family weekend while visiting my son at ISU. Planning to go again.

Harry Potter themed dinner with subpar decorations. The most hilarious thing was that this bran muffin with whipped cream was presented to us as a sticky toffee trifle pudding. Luckily I had a fun friend at the event but overall would not recommend going to their themed events!

We went to the Harry Potter themed meal. Food is mass produced and worse than a dorm cafeteria. No flavor. The potatoes in the Sheppard pie were obviously fake, appetizer were two small baguette slices for portion size, dessert was supposed to be a layered cake and it was just a muffin. Literally dorm cafeteria food would be a 10/10 compared to this. Minimal decorations. Way too overpriced. Save your money and go to absolutely any other restaurant…or cook at home. It does have great views, but it stops at that.

I attended the murder mystery dinner with my Fiancé and we had such a blast. We ordered coffee, which tasted amazing and fresh. The customer service was outstanding. The owner gave us drinks on the house because we waited over half an hour for our coffee. The food was amazing, I really enjoyed the Cesar salad and the beef lasagne. The dessert was super good as well!! We both left very full and happy. The night was filled with a lot of laughter and conversations with others. The murder mystery game was very interactive and super fun if you love solving mysteries. We will be coming back in the future and telling all of our friends/family about this place! 10/10 would recommend this place for anyone just wanting to enjoy their night with good food and great conversations. 😊

The view is beautiful, and the space has a comfortable, aesthetic atmosphere with charming furniture and a unique European style. However, cafe customers often feel under prioritized—especially when events are being set up.
For example, this has happened multiple times: I've arrived early in the day, the main-level dining area is closed off for event prep, even when the event isn’t scheduled until much later in the day. Considering that their main clientele day-to-day is ISU students (including myself), it’s frustrating that this isn’t better accommodated. There's a lack of outlets for device plug-ins and their WiFi is horrible so you need to bring chargers and a hotspot with you if you're planning on doing any type of work.
While the environment itself is nice, there’s a lack of consideration for those who come to study. When the main floor is blocked off, you’re forced upstairs, where there’s little proper seating for anyone trying to be productive.
Otherwise, it's a great place to meet up with people for a meal and coffee, or attending events.
Also—don't get the matcha latte it's literally just a matcha flavored syrup mixed into milk.
WHERE TO BEGIN. Do not waste your money on this. My husband, myself and my son went to the paw patrol themed “brunch”. First of all, the tickets are pricey for what is provided. What we thought was going to be a grand experience was nothing more than a couple of colored streamers, and some table glitter with a single tiny sheet of stickers that fit their so called “theme”. Drinks are NOT included in your ticket cost, which by the way, for two adults and a 3 year old equaled $74.00. For that money you would think at least one drink would be included. Secondly, The “bunch” or “breakfast” is basically bulk bought desserts from Costco. And that is it. Dessert for breakfast, for a bunch of kids. At the start of the “experience” they asks about 15 trivia questions and then gave us our desserts…that was it. They also brought in a dog dressed up as a character. Which I found gross, why is there a dog in a place where food and drink are served. All in all, HUGE waste of money. This is hyped up beyond what is provided and the bad reviews you see are absolutely legit. Don’t waste your time, money, effort. You could do something more special at home on your own.

My husband and I got our marriage gathering at Clouds with around 20 guests and we love it. The owner is very friendly and kind. The place has a very beautiful of the campus and the city. The food was delicious, fresh, and the top was the desserts which were not very sweet. In addition they did special food for me dairy free. So, if you are looking for some place to have a small gathering, this is the place.
